Focaccia Bread

Recipe View 5 mins In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, salt, sugar, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and dried basil. Add a pinch of ground black pepper. Then, incorporate water and vegetable oil until a cohesive dough forms. (5 minutes)
